Whereas John Brennan my Usher hath this day made Oath on the Holy Evangelist and saith as follows
That about the hour of Eight o’clock on the Morning of Friday 15th August instant, he has been applied to by William Hardman, Constable of this District, who had informed him that James Redmond Byrne, who has kept School near the Nepean River, had slept in the House of Mr John Purcell of Kerry Lodge on the preceeding night, was dangerously aroused by some person or persons who had broken into the House on said night, and requested said Brennan would go with him the said William Hardman to see Byrne and dress his wounds. Brennan accompanied by said Hardman to Mr Purcell’s & arrived there about ½ past 8 o’clock on his arrival he found Byrne lying in a Bed in a bloody state, and on examining him discovered a severe cut he had got in the neck which had penetrated the Wind pipe. He asked how this had happened, to which he could not reply. Brennan then asked the Servants and Mr Purcell’s Son, who had been in the House on the preceeding Evening , & was informed that two Men of George Collis’s had salted some pork and went off about 7 o’clock he demanded their names and what kind of wearing apparel they had on them when Salting the pork, was told that one of them by name of Evan Davis had on a pair of White Trousers very clean and a Blue Shirt no Coat or Vest, the other Man, named Bob, had on old Grey Cloth Trousers & the same kind of Shirt. Deponent further saith that he then examined the place and discovered a large Hole thro’ the wall of the Skillern? Which adjoins the Room in which Byrne had slept through which he supposed the person or persons had entered. It appeared that the House had not been robbed of any Article, he found an Axe bloody laid near the Bed, which he was told Davis and Bob had used in cutting he pork and which was left in the Skillern? When they had done Salting.
Deponent then brought Hardman & Malone, another Constable, with him to George Collis’s House where they had met the Woman who lives with Collis who he is since informed is not married to him (Collis) he enquired where her two Men where she replied at work. That he then enquired to see the Cloathes that they had worn the preceeding Evening on a pair of Trousers he discovered some marks of blood, these Trousers the woman said belonged to Davis. He delivered these Trousers to Malone and proceeded with Harman to apprehend Davis but who made his escape as he saw them. He thew= then examined Bob’s Cloathes but found no blood on them. Davis was apprehended about 12 o’clock, and on being asked why he ran away at the sight of the Constable he replied that he was afraid of being taken as a Bush Ranger upon being asked if he had any Pass he made not any reply.

Sworn before me at Castlereagh this 18th day August 1817 (signed) Henry Fulton

4th September 1820
The King agt Harriott Purcell, Jno Castles
Before the Revd. R Cartwight, James Milcham Esq.
The Revd. Henry Fulton Sworn States that immediately preceeding the Week that Byrne was attacked Mrs Purcell came to him as a Magistrate respecting some pigs that had been impounded. Mrs Purcell requested that he would give her back the 4 Men that had been taken away from Mr Purcell viz. Castles, Clarke, Pratt and Clements. That on his mentioning this to Malone, the Constable, and Malone told Witness that if he did that they would certainly murder Mr Purcell as he learned so much from Mrs Purcell’s conversation that day, and that she had proposed to him said Malone to shoot Mr Purcell.
Christopher Malone Sworn States that on Friday or Saturday before Byrne was attacked he saw Mrs Purcell respecting some pigs that were impounded. In the course of conversation she expressed herself in the following manner “that she was going to dissolution thro’ the acts of her Husband that she wished he would break his neck or that some body would murder before he came back. That she would do anything she could for Witness if he would kill Mr Purcell that she would get him from Mr Fulton and live with him. That She would get some boarder from Sydney and give her Purcell’s own Gun to murder him with, & that it should be done immediately as he Mr Purcell was so involved in debt that he would son be take. She said that Castles would have done it but She was afraid he should miss him, and if any thing was done in the House it would come across her if she was at home, meaning that she would be suspected of the act or of being privy to it. That a few days ago having occasion to go to Mr Purcell’s respecting a Government Servant he saw Mrs Purcell she threatened Witness that if he should say any thing respecting the above language made use of by her She would swear such a charge against Witness as should send him to the Coal River Mrs Purcell has also informed Witness that if said John Castles would keep his own Guts, meaning his own counsel, nothing could happen to him. She also further said that she has repeatedly prostituted herself for her Husband’s benefit, and often paid money for him and that he was aware how she attained it. That he walked about like a lob lolly Boy whilst she was with a Captain of the Regiment, and that she would now do as she pleased for her own pleasure; and that if she now prostituted her body for his profit she might, but that he would not permit any thing of the Kind or her pleasure. Since the attack on Byrne he saw Mrs Purcell and told her that he would not let Evan Davis be hung as the Prisoner Castles was the Man that did it.
James Tongue deposed that he went to Mr Purcells about 3 months ago to plough for him during 15 days. That he saw John castles come there on Sunday Evening Mrs Purcell asked him how he did, he answered he was well and wanted to speak to her, that She went along with him out of the Kitchen to some place and remained there about half an hour That he has seen Castles come there frequently about twylight, and once that Mr Purcell was at home he went down the back way to get out of his sights.
Saml Cements States on Oath that about a month before Byrne was attacked, that on his return home, his Mistress Mrs Purcell desired Witness to look into her Bed Room and see who was there that on doing so he saw John Castles. That She then made a Cake which she informed Witness was for Castles He saw Castles repeatedly in the course of the day in the same Bed Room. At this time Mr Purcell was at Parramatta. In the Evening of that day after it was dark he still saw the said Castles in his Mistress’s bed Room
William Parry States that on Thursday last he cut up a Pig at Mr Purcells that he left Mr Purcell’s about 8 or 9 o’clock at night. That Mr Byrne came the great part of the lead? With him towards home. That Witness resided that night at George Collis’s at Castlereagh, that after eating his Supper he went to Bed. States that he has working about Castlereagh under a Pass in the Name of Evan Evans, which Pass he had from a Man in Sydney. States that he suspects Castles to be the Man that made the Attack on Byrne and on being interrogated as to the cause of his having such suspicions Witness declared that he overheard a Conversation between Mrs Purcell and her Servant Sally when the Servant accused Mrs Purcell of having had said Castles in her Bed all night when Mr Purcell was in Sydney, Mrs Purcell then said that she wished every thing that was bad might befall Mr Purcell.
Charles Morse States that on Monday the 11th August Mrs Purcell went to Sydney. That the next day Mr Purcell was arrested and he left his House on Wednesday following, leaving Mr Byrne in the care of his House. That on Friday Morning his Masters Son Charles Purcell, a Child, informed Witness that Mr Byrne’s Nose had been bleeding very muck, and on going into the House to see Mr Byrne, he found that one pannell of Brick work of the Skillern was broken down and the Door open and kept so by a Shingling Hammer. On going into the Bed Room he saw Mr Byrne in Mr Purcell’s Bed laying on his back at the side of the Bed next the Door, that Mr Byrne made signs for Pen and Ink, which Witness gave him, but Byrne was unable to write. That the side of his Head was beat and all Bloody and he observed that his throat had been cut. That an Axe belonging to Mr Purcell was laying under the head of the Bed. That he immediately alarmed the Stockman who went to acquaint the Constable of the circumstance
William Hardman District Constable Sworn States that on Friday the 15th August in the Morning Mr Purcell’s Stockman came to Witness and informed him that Byrne had been murdered That he immediately went to reported the same to the Magistrate, The Revd. H. Fulto, but who being absent Mr Brennan his Usher went with Witness to examine Mr Brennan’s [sic] wound and make enquiries to the transaction.
Mr Thomas Wheeler, Surgeon, States that on Friday Evening the 15th August he was called on by James McCarthy and requested to attend Mr Byrne, who had his throat cut at the House of Mr Purcell at Castlereagh. That he immediately went and found that said Byrne lying in Mr Purcell’s Bed with his Throat cut from Jugular to Jugular. The incision was about 6 inches the Wind pipe was cut through. There was a likewise contusion on the right Ear. The Knife produced was found on the Prisoner Castles, Witness thinks would be fully equal to cut a Span in the manner Mr Byrne was cut, Tho’ the same is now very blunt
Mr George Loder accounts for the Knife being so very blunt, as the Prisoner Castles attempted to break out of Gaol the first time by cutting a hole through the Door the second time by removing a Flag.
Thomas Ratcliffe (Govt. Servt. To Mr Wm Cox) Sworn States that in the Evening of the 14th instant being unwell he remained in the hut with the permission of his Master wherein Castles also lives. That about ¾ of an hour before Sundown Castles and Thomas White came in, when Witness asked them to mix him a Cake as he was unable. That they made him no reply. That he then went to the well for water and on his return he found White had gone out, and met Castles with a Sugar Bag under his Arm. Castles told Witness he was going to walk, but that White would soon return, when he would mix the Cake for Witness. Witness never saw Castles any more that night nor till about 7 the next Morning Does not think that he was in the Hut tho’ he cannot positively say. Castles was in the Hut when he saw him the next Morning and was employed in tearing up a pair of Duck Trousers nearly three parts worn, dragged apparently with slew up to the knees As Castles tore the said trousers he carefully examined each piece and tore a number of small pieces and put them into the fire, but the Hut being dark he could not discern whether the pieces were marked with blood or not. That a Man of the name of Jones remarked to Castles not to burn the pieces as they might come to some use, that Castles replied that they were good for nothing Jones then asked further for a piece of the said Trousers to mend a Frock with, when Castles gave him one of the legs That Jones has since informed Witness that he observed blood on some of the Pieces that Castles burnt as above stated
Morgan Jones Govt. Servt. To Mr William Cox States that on Friday Morning last he saw some pieces of Duck in the hands of the Prisoner Castles, that Witness asked him to give him some to mend his Frock, said Castles accordingly gave him a piece of the Leg of a pair of Duck trousers, which was very dirty and wet. That he has washed the same piece of Duck and the same is still marked, Tho’ he cannot say that these marks are the marks of blood, Nor can he say that there was any marks of blood on the pieces that Castles burnt. Witness says that he might possibly have said he thought that the pieces burnt by Castles were marked with blood, but this supposition arose in consequence of his having heard what had happened, and not from any thing he actually observed.
James Hilton (Constable) Sworn States that he was sent this day to search the Hut wherein Castles formerly lived, and over the Bed place he found the remains of a pair of Duck trousers which had been cut in many places and a great part cut away. on examining the same there appears evidently several spots of blood which appear to be fresh. He also brought the frock belonging to Morgan Jones, which had been mended with a part of the Prisoners Trousers and on examining the same there still appears some marks like that of blood, but as the Frock has been washed he cannot possitvely say that those marks are the marks of blood. That the remains of the Trousers and Frock he delivered to Mr Howe the Chief Constable
Thomas White Sworn States that on Thursday the 14th August he saw John Castles at Mr Cox’s Farm about 5 o’clock in the afternoon That he never saw him again till the next Morning about 6 o’clock, that he did not examine his Bed, He might have been in Bed
Patk. Carroll, another of Mr Cox’s Servants Sworn States that on Thursday night he did not think that Castles was in all night that slept in the next bed to Castles that their feet are close to each other Thinks if he had been in Bed he must have felt him move That he saw Castles the next Morning very early coming, as he said, from the Bullocks.
The Prisoners deny the Charges
The Prisoner John Castles says that on Thursday Evening last after Sundown he came to Windsor for a walk, did not go into any House That he returned home about nine o’clock at night and went to Bed. Did not speak to any person in the Hut during the night, that he was up before any of the men and went and turned the Bullocks out, that on his return all the men were up. Acknowledges that remains of the Trousers are [h]is, that the apparent marks of blood are the effect of his having helped Connor Dwyer to kill a Pig on the Wednesday.
Mrs Purcell admits that Castles was in her Bed Room about a month or six weeks before the Attack on Byrne denies that he staid there the whole day.
Connor Dwyer (on the part of the Prisoner Castles) States that on Monday the 11th Augt. He killed a pig, and called to the Prisoner Castles to assist him to get the said pig on a Table, Castles held her by the forefeet whilst Witness stuck her. Did not observe Castles Besmeared with blood, that Castles went away as soon as the Pig was stuck.
